Spring has sprung!
Saturday, May 5th, 2007
It has been an exciting week at the farm. We were blessed with a new calf. We did not realize Lena was pregnant until a few days before the birth. The calf is a happy and healthy baby girl. We are still trying to come up with the right name for her. She is so cute- running and trying to get the older cows to play. She has a lot of spunk already! Too bad they can’t stay so small and adorable.
We also had so many sprouts come up this week! Lettuces and greens are on the way now. It won’t be long until we are harvesting every day of the week. The peas, beets, radishes, onions, and carrots are all up too. We planted raspberries, asparagus, potatoes, broccoli, and some herbs and flowers this week. We add 100 asparagus to our asparagus patch every year. We also add 50 raspberries to our yummy raspberry fence every year. I love spring…. everything is green and smells of earth.
Things in the greenhouse are really getting big fast. The tomato plants are huge and ready to go in the ground. So are many other plants from eggplant to lavender. Both of our greenhouses are so full of plants right now it is hard to walk through them! I love watching all the tiny seeds we planted growing into big beautiful plants. There is so much anticipation this time of year, it is always exciting.
